<br /> 1206 to be made by the future homeowners,just given the liability and maintenance issues that it would
<br /> 1207 create. So,there is an opportunity for that in the concept plan if it makes sense in the future, it
<br /> 1208 can be implemented.
<br /> 1209
<br /> 1210 Beth Bronson: It's hard because most of the times, these come together as a rezoning and approval for the
<br /> 1211 neighborhood. So,where are we talking about in theory,where are we talking about, or this is
<br /> 1212 applicable for just the rezoning?
<br /> 1213
<br /> 1214 Laura Haywood: I would also like to point out on Page 66 of your packet, the overall site plan that Beth is
<br /> 1215 presenting to you, I would like to point out that we did put an access easement connecting both
<br /> 1216 Pathway Elementary School and Eno River Academy, so,that there is an opportunity for us to
<br /> 1217 collaborate and work out a scenario where this is beneficial, because one of the takeaways of our
<br /> 1218 conversations with Cy, Pat, Taylor, and the rest of their staff,was this idea of walkability,and, I'm
<br /> 1219 a proponent of walkability. I love the fact that people can walk to and from places and enjoy trails
<br /> 1220 and all that stuff. I'm for that. So,we did put that on our site plan to also present that we are open
<br /> 1221 to these conversations and to build a neighborhood and an area where I'm hopeful, in my vision, 1
<br /> 1222 envision this to be a residential community where people do have children, and that this is an
<br /> 1223 opportunity for them to attend Eno River Academy, or to attend Pathways Elementary School. 1
<br /> 1224 am originally from Colorado, and my neighborhood did have a walking trail from our neighborhood
<br /> 1225 down to my elementary school, and that was our way of commuting.
<br /> 1226
<br /> 1227 Beth Bronson: It's extremely informative, and the idea that we need to consider that as we start recommending
<br /> 1228 these types of subdivisions in this area, right? Like, it's not an option, say, in the middle of 54.
<br /> 1229 But it is an option when you're trying to develop outside of the town.This is the only time that we
<br /> 1230 have an idea to be able to have an impact on that.And, if it's not going to be annexed into the
<br /> 1231 town, this is a great opportunity to require a condition that you collaborate with the adjacent parcel
<br /> 1232 for, say, a cross country track.You know, in that trail. That could be used.
<br /> 1233
<br /> 1234 Laura Haywood: I think Lindsey is still here. We have had conversations with Lindsey on multiple accounts,
<br /> 1235 bearing different things, but that is an opportunity for sure. Two things. One, Eno River Academy
<br /> 1236 is, 1, 1 think Lindsay said it's starting to reach capacity or it's full?
<br /> 1237
<br /> 1238 Lindsey Sealey: It's way full.
<br /> 1239
<br /> 1240 Laura Haywood: Okay, it's way full. Her words. So, it's way full,which means it's a popular institution where people
<br /> 1241 want to send their children to school, and I would love for more families to have the opportunity to
<br /> 1242 that educational system, as they choose.
<br /> 1243
<br /> 1244 Beth Bronson: I'd love for there to be affordable housing in these neighborhoods so we can make sure those kids
<br /> 1245 could have access to that school.
<br /> 1246
<br /> 1247 Laura Haywood: Yeah. I mean there's only so many battles we can address all at once.
<br /> 1248
<br /> 1249 Beth Bronson: Housing.
<br /> 1250
<br /> 1251 Laura Haywood: Yeah, I would love to address all of the problems in the world, but I cannot do that here and now.
<br /> 1252 But, yes,to address that and Eno River Academy is car centric. They do not have a bus system.
<br /> 1253 So,there are a lot of people driving their kids to and from school. There is that traffic that adds.
<br /> 1254 What is this scenario where you have children living in this school, their parents love this idea of
<br /> 1255 them either walking or biking to school, and now you have that many cars less driving to Eno
<br /> 1256 River Academy or Pathways Elementary School. I just want to put it in a different perspective
<br /> 1257 there.
<br /> 1258
<br /> 1259 Beth Bronson: I mean, that would be one thing if it was a public school. But it's not. It's a charter school. So,
<br /> 1260 anybody in those neighbors may or may not even have the ability to go to the school.
